King Oberon's gauntleted hand fisted the lead ropes around the unicorn's neck while Queen Titania sat on her saddle regally with something on her lap.

Even if Queen Titania's beauty was starting to fade from her fragile and discoloured spots on her pale skin with golden undertones the expanse of it, his grandmother was still the spitting image of Princess Ourania but with few silver strands painted on her long auburn braids.

She had blue eyes fifty shades lighter than Princess Ourania that it seemed electric as it glowed under the summer heat.

A pretty floral bonnet adorned with sunflowers was worn over Queen Titania's head and tied into a pink ribbon under her chin.

Her long, pointy nose stood stark in her sophisticated profile.

She looked down at them while she was seated from the unicorn's saddle.

The way she jutted her chin gave her an air of a crown's arrogance.? Turning her head, Luna moved her lips closer to his ear as he whispered, "Husband. Now that I know that Queen Titania and King Oberon, I think I finally got the gist of where this is going."

"Me, as well." Apollyon nodded in agreement. "It's not about seeing the future. It's about anticipating of what was to come."

"I can already see that based from how many times we explained ourselves."

"I only desired to find the final resolution. What comes after." Apollyon's sigh was a harsh sound like he was exhausted from talking to his mother.

How much more if both of them will discuss with his grandparents?

Can he handle it?

"Some people love to feel they are important enough to take up another's time for no sound reason." Luna slid an arm behind Apollyon's back as her fingers clung to his waist. "Do you think they are going to waste our time with stupid questions about what really happened at the Spring Courts?"

At this point, she didn't care if the Summer Faerie have sensitive hearing from afar.

"I guess so. But I don't think it was going to be a long story similar to what Princess Ourania had discussed with us. There will be no interrogations about that compared to what I have experienced at the Council of the Spring Courts." Apollyon replied.

"This will only serve as confirmation to what the Summer Monarchs heard about the rumors circulating throughout the Faerie Realm in comparison to what Princess Sapphire had figured out about us from her? diligent spying." Luna said.

"The Faes and their rumor mill…." Apollyon clicked his tongue.

Speaking of the devil, Luna saw Princess Sapphire flying close behind the Summer King and Queen's impromptu parade to the gazebo.

"This half-sister of mine must have leaned towards her mission as a messenger and observed the citizens, gathering secret information from them. She relied on what she have heard from her trusted Spring Faeries."

"That girl wouldn't survive if she stalked you outright." Luna whispered.

His Prussian blue eyes darkened as he looked at her. "I would have killed my stepsister if she got so close to me by accident when I was full of angst."

"It's good that she was careful."

"The Spring Monarchs treated me like I was criminal without a proof. This maltreatment of a King from the Vampire Realm might be one I could accept even as they threw me petrified glances. Their reaction to me made me hide you away from the ungrateful Summer Monarchs to the Solitary Fae's uncharted dominion." Turning his head, he breathed into her hair, and Luna could feel her pulse speeding up. How can Apollyon make her ache with just a chaste kiss?? "I don't like them giving you strange looks if I brought you with me to the Spring Council."

Hearing a distinct sound of harmonicas and violins up above, Luna's lips curved upward. She witnessed their aerial performance while playing their musical instruments with pure, unbridled joy, like how the Spring Faeries performed at the Ostara. "--and now you became a real fugitive in their eyes. They shouldn't have dared."

"Thank you for keeping me safe, husband." Returning her gaze towards him, Luna's breath was caught in a sensual murmur as she placed her other hand on his chest. "I abhor their prying eyes on me as well."

No matter what season they belonged to, the Faerie Monarchs always preferred to have a grand entrance.

A flock of birds with lengthy beaks and feathered wings joined the celebration.

It might be over-the-top for her, but she wasn't a spoilsport, either.

She would let them have their fun but neither at the Vampire King and Empress' expense.

When the Summer Queen's unicorn walked closer and closer to the gazebo, Luna could see another furry animal with a luxurious coat, a beautiful broad chest, a? large head, an upturned nose, jewel-like aquamarine eyes that have a wide space between them and silky fur.

It was similar to the witch doctor's cat who watched over her while she was unconscious at the cabin on top of the mountains, except that it had a unique face shape.

Apollyon had brought it back from the Spring Realm to the Summer Courts.

Amused, Luna wondered if his husband had brought his adopted black cat here, would they get along despite the different breed?

As she observed Queen Titania's stocky cat sitting on the front of the saddle, her sensitive ears picked up on the soft and sweet 'meows', and it melted her heart.

Nevertheless, the orange cat's gentle and docile nature didn't stop her from narrowing her eyes in disbelief at it.

The cat's posture, which was similar to Queen Titania, commanded respect.

She would have expected the flat-faced cat to be grumpy and annoying like their black cat at Vinca Inn. It broke her expectations, and she felt cheated.

King Oberon and Queen Titania got off the unicorn's saddle with their grooms' and other servant's assistance.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting."? Queen Titania exclaimed as soon as she and King Oberon met them while carrying a large, orange cat. "Welcome to the Summer Tea Party."
